So we're getting some White Lanterns beside just Sinestro huh? I hope we get some more Red, Blue, Indigo, Orange, and Violet Lanterns in this set so we can build teams of them also.
Cart. Horse. Chaos.
We haven't even seen a (significant) fraction of the DC75 set. Why are folk already assuming that we won't see any of the other Corps?

Correction; PF painted Sinestro. He did not sculpt it.

After waiting for a good Bane figure this is what we get, a figure absolutely detached from any possible scenario. Great Superman figure to. Why, Supes always goes into battle with a large American Flag shield behind him and an Eagle.
I'd tell you what I really think of it, but unfortunately, the censor only lets me says carp.
Someone else needs a hug methinks. They're going like hotcakes folks!
IMHO, detractions like this are minor at best. Sculpts with additional elements do not bother me in the slightest, and actually I appreciate the extra thought put into figures that are part of an anniversary set aimed at highlighting canonical moments in DC's history.
I have no issues with Bane in a perpetual state of breaking the Bat, as that is what I plan on doing with him each time he is fielded. I will calmly look across the table, designate an opponent's figures as "the Bat" (in the possible absence of Bruce), point at Bane, and laugh evilly while saying "Consider this a preview".

Is the a single DC set that doesn't feature some combination of:
a.) Superman
b.) Batman
c.) Wonder Woman
d.) some lantern guy
e.) some Flash guy
Proof once more that Marvel characters have way more depth.
Wow....Spider-Man and Elektra (back in the day). Not to mention Wolverine. I mean..really. This goes both ways and not in the cool kinky way your thinking about either.
What we do in life echoes in eternity!
Respect is a given, only disrespect can be earned.
lol I can't say i was a fan of sarge in CJ and im kinda shocked that he got made again not someone i would use even if he was broken good.
The new bane looks great not a fan of diorama sculpts but in the case of bane i will make an exception i MUST have that figure. (keep my fingers crossed for another azbat in the set)
This set better have the blackest night lanterns seriously why the hell would they do a bunch of white lanterns and skip over atrocitus, saint walker, indigo one and larfleeze it seems ridiculous brightest day is less popular then blackest night. Even a John stewart or killiwog remake would make alot more sense.
Seriously marvel fans whining about DC getting more love lol, where were you people the other 8years when DC got the shaft? And its not that DC's universe is less interesting then marvels its that your less interesting and cant appreciate the different aspects and mythologies of both universes. Both have some great things in them.

Emphasis mine. Again, do we have confirmation these figures are not in the set?
Seems a bit premature to criticize just yet.

diorama sculpts are complete garbage and a waste of a clix..........how ignorant does it look to have bane on the board without a batman in play but still having batman in his clutches.......horrible to say the least
ok.....what's wrong with WF?? It's far better than all the #### Marvel put out as brick figs. Ragnarok Surtur? Dark Beast? blasphemous Mandarin (mocking our Lord). At least DC's brick figs are somehow relevant to current storylines.

how is Mandarin Blasphemous? I must have missed that one...?
He's telling the truth, he's not being scarcastic, and I completely agree with him. The new owners of Heroclix are clearly targeting the superhero collector market OUTSIDE of Heroclix, so the Bane/Batman fig, and Superman with the flag shield fig are really not meant for clix players, so all these sculpts are doing are lowering the standards of the game, not supporting them.
If the rest of DC 75 figs look like this, we're going to get completely ripped off. Even if the dials are good, the figures don't look like they belong in a game, and reality check, this is a game.
I'm backing off my pre-order for the Watchmen set because of all the duplicate characters and too many peanut based duos, what an utter and complete waste of money. Unless there are some better scuplts in the DC 75, I don't see myself buying my usual case either, and I usually only buy DC clix.

Relax. Enjoy it. This is a pretty banal detraction IMO.

I'm not a huge fan of the extra sculpt elements either... but you know what? you can take that shield off the base. You could even take the Eagle off his arm if it bothers you so much.
I could do without the back breaking Batman add on too, but there are other bane sculpts... you could sub him out.
there are easy ways around this stuff. I'd say 30% of my permanent collection is modded or repainted in some way. Its one of the things that keeps me interested in the game.
Don't like it? take it in your own hands! (Its not that difficult)
